Lipscomb claims Boulevard Trophy in all-sports race against Belmont
Lipscomb Athletics |
After meeting 18 times in 13 sports throughout the fall and spring seasons, Lipscomb Athletics has been crowned the inaugural winner of the Boulevard trophy over Belmont.
The trophy was awarded to the Bisons after winning the all-sports race by a score of 11-7.
In August, the athletic departments from Lipscomb and Belmont jointly announced the beginning of an all-sport Battle of the Boulevard series. Any time the schools played against one another in any sport, the winner was awarded a single point.
After winning four of the first five meetings between the schools in 2017-18, and then adding a pair of men’s hoops victories on the hardwood, the Bisons never trailed in the trophy standings.
The Boulevard trophy was officially clinched on April 10 when the Lipscomb men’s golf team registered a 2nd-place finish in the Ryman Hospitality Intercollegiate, while Belmont finished 11th.
Rooted in men’s basketball, the Battle of the Boulevard rivalry added a little extra spice to the crosstown rivalry with the all-sports race. The quest for the trophy in 2018-19 promises to be even better.
